The Yangtze River Economic Belt covers 11 provinces and cities along the Yangtze River, and its population size and total economic output occupies "half of the country", with a prominent ecological status and huge development potential.
Standing at the height of history and the overall situation, and proceeding from the long-term interests of the Chinese nation, General Secretary Xi Jinping personally planned, deployed, and personally promoted the high-quality development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
Since 2016, he has been to the upper, middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, and held three symposiums, from "promotion" to "in-depth promotion" and then to "all-round promotion" to steer the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt.
The sun and the moon are advancing, and the times are flourishing.
The provinces and cities along the Yangtze River fully implement the new development concept, strive to promote the improvement of the ecological environment, and move steadily on the track of high-quality development.
The main battlefield of ecological priority and green development
The cluttered reed swamp turned into a sea of flowers, and the monotonous embankment road turned into a tourist road... During the National Day holiday, groups of tourists came to the Dongbuzhou Long Beach Park in Haimen, Nantong, Jiangsu, listening to the waves of the river and enjoying the beautiful autumn scenery.
With the ecological green corridor "outlining" the river and sea, Nantong City this year fully launched the construction of the coastal ecological landscape belt along the river to promote the overall look and function remodeling.

On November 12, 2020, General Secretary Xi Jinping visited the Binjiang area of Wushan area for investigation and investigation.
"The dirty and messy places in the past have become the green belts of the current parks, which shows that as long as we make up our minds, we will definitely be able to implement the requirements for the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt to protect it and not to develop it." General Secretary Xi Jinping said.
Promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt is a major decision made by the Party Central Committee with Comrade Xi Jinping at the core, and a major strategy related to the overall development of the country.
On January 5, 2016, General Secretary Xi Jinping held a symposium on promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt in Chongqing and delivered an important speech. He comprehensively and profoundly expounded the major strategic ideas for promoting the development of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, and emphasized that the restoration of the Yangtze River’s ecological environment should be overwhelming. The location, a total of major protection, not to engage in major development.
Guangyang Island, the largest Jiangxin island in the upper reaches of the Yangtze River, is surrounded by verdant greenery and playing with mandarin ducks. It is a picture of the harmonious coexistence of man and nature.
Many years ago, over 3 million square meters of real estate was planned here, the slopes were flattened and the vegetation was destroyed.
By protecting mountains, managing water, managing forests, dredging fields, clearing lakes, and abundant grasses, Chongqing is determined to protect the greenery on the Yangtze River and comprehensively restore the ecology of Guangyang Island.
“The number of plants on the island has been restored to nearly 500 species, the vegetation coverage rate exceeds 90%, and 191 species of birds have been recorded. Many migratory birds came to overwinter last year.” said Wang Yue, party secretary of Chongqing Guangyang Island Green Development Co., Ltd.

In the past, sewage flowed into the river, sand and gravel piled up at the docks, and chemical companies surrounded the river. The water quality of the Yangtze River continued to deteriorate and the ecological function was degraded. The ecosystem sounded the alarm.
"There are fewer and fewer fish in the Yangtze River." Wang Mingwu, a Wuhan native who has been a fisherman for decades, has personal experience.
Due to long-term overfishing and water pollution, the Yangtze River's biological integrity index once reached the worst "fish-free" level.

Stop and withdraw; In Changjiang Village, Jiangnan Town, Linxiang City, Yueyang City, 10,000 mu of sandbanks are restored to natural wetlands to develop eco-tourism industry; Nanjing Pukou "Shili Shipbuilding Belt" has changed into a riverside ecological scenery belt...
A series of system designs to build a benign pattern of coordinated efforts to protect and protect——
Establish a negative list management system; realize unified monitoring, unified release, monthly evaluation, and quarterly warning of cross-section water quality; relevant provinces speed up the establishment of inter-provincial and intra-provincial horizontal ecological compensation mechanisms; establish regional consultation and cooperation mechanisms for the upper, middle and lower reaches; protection of the Yangtze River The law is formally implemented, and governing the river according to law has entered a new stage...

Over the past five years, the ecological and environmental protection of the Yangtze River Economic Belt has undergone a turning point, and the mother river of the Chinese nation is full of vitality.
Today, centralized sewage and garbage treatment facilities in cities and counties along the mainstream of the Yangtze River have basically achieved full coverage; docks along the mainstream of the Yangtze River have achieved full coverage of ship garbage facilities; backward chemical production capacity within one kilometer along the river has been basically eliminated... In the first half of this year, the Yangtze River Economic Zone The proportion of good water quality was 88.2%, a year-on-year increase of 2.1 percentage points, 6.5 percentage points higher than the national average.
People and rivers have a blind date, and cities and waters are dependent on each other.
A new picture of the Yangtze River Economic Belt, where landscapes and cities are harmoniously integrated, is slowly unfolding.
